HUERTAS TACCHINO, Erasmo et al. Prenatal diagnosis of schizencephaly. Case report and literature review. Rev. peru. ginecol. obstet. [online]. 2020, vol.66, n.1, pp.89-93. ISSN 2304-5132.  http://dx.doi.org/10.31403/rpgo.v66i2238.

Schizencephaly is a pathology of unknown etiology characterized by clefts that communicate the subarachnoidal space with the lateral ventricles. Two types have been described since the first paper published in 1941: Type I schizencephaly (closedlip), where the edges of the cleft (lips) come into contact; Type II schizencephaly (openlip) presents cleft edges (lips) that are widely open and filled by cephalo-spinal fluid. The latter has a worse prognosis and may be diagnosed antenatally. We present the case of a fetus with prenatal ultrasonographic findings of Type 2 schizencephaly.
